I alwais have read that the Tipula need genitalia for determination, but this one have very different colours in the wings and abdomen, than the ciommon species in my zone.

Yesterday at Sabi?anigo, Huesca, Aragon, Spain. Pre-Pyrenees. mountain-mediterranean climate. Habitat: repoblation forest of Populus nigra, near a small, low-level and contaminated river. Size: the same than the semall common species here, about 19-22 mm.
